A New (Obsession) Read

I have been fumbling around for the past couple of weeks without a book to read. I have re-read for the 5th time the Twilight series and that author's other book, "The Host". (It is a sci-fi book that takes a little while to get in to, but it is a pretty good read...not as good as Twilight though!) I was excited tonight when I went to the grocery store to pick up some apple food for my students to sample when I saw this:

Of course, I bought it right away! I've been waiting for this book to come out! Dan Brown is the author of a few other books, but my favorites and the most known are:

These books were also made into movies with Tom Hanks portraying the lead character, Robert Langdon. I, of course, have read them multiple times and was so excited when his newest book came out. I start it last night and after 60 pages of reading, I am already hooked! There is no need to have read his previous books to read this one, but it does help. I'll keep you posted on what I think about it!

**Also, Jen Lancaster, author of "Bitter is the New Black", "Bright Lights, Big Ass", "Such a Pretty Fat", and etc. has just finished her newest book. It is sent to the publisher and won't be out for awhile, but look for that one as well!
